List of English and Welsh cricket league clubs

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of English and Welsh cricket leagues recognised and supported by the England and Wales Cricket Board as ECB Premier Leagues, and beneath the League titles are the cricket clubs that are in their top divisions in the 2023 English cricket season.[1] These leagues and clubs are the top echelons of the amateur, recreational game of cricket in England and Wales.

There are also non-ECB-affiliated leagues such as the Lancashire League and the Central Lancashire League, as their standards of cricket also represent the highest standards in the English (and Welsh) non-first-class game.
